Here are some Tampa Bay Buccaneers player and coach Raheem Morris reactions from Jim Bates removal as defensive coordinator on Tuesday:

DEFENSIVE END STYLEZ G. WHITE

I don’t know if I’m coming or going the way things have been going. I don’t know if I’m going to be here. The person next to you, don’t know if they’re going to be here. You want to fall in line. You don’t want to do anything to mess up any balance there is.

DEFENSIVE TACKLE CHRIS HOVAN

It’s adversity right now. It’s been a long year of adversity. From the personnel in the offseason, a new head coach, some losses c(on top of) that. It has not been easy. At the same time, we have the personnel to right this wrong. It has to start this week. The only thing you can build off of is wins.

DEFENSIVE TACKLE ROY MILLER

Most frustrating part of it was as players up front, a lot of times we’re right and the play still breaks. I don’t know what it is. Most frustrating thing to us. We don’t know.

CORNERBACK RONDE BARBER

I don’t think Jim’s stuff was bad. We didn’t play it well enough. When you’re struggling in certain situations in football you have to make some changes.

DEFENSIVE END JIMMY WILKERSON

If Raheem says we’re in cover 2, we’re in cover 2. If not, we’re not. That’s what we played last year. It’s going to be like riding a bike again, it never gets old. It’s going to be refreshing.

HEAD COACH RAHEEM MORRIS

It’s my job to do what I think is best for this organization while I run it. That’s my decision and I have to go out and do it. Being pro active in your decisions and your job is the best thing you can do. You can sit around and complain, you can sit in the corner and talk about it but when you actually go out and do something about it then it is being pro active in my opinion.
